About: I have experience caring for dogs and am comfortable handling dogs with different personalities and needs. I previously worked at PetSmart, where I cared for dogs by bathing them, cleaning their ears, trimming their nails, drying and brushing them. This taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s comfort and safety. As a stay at home mom I have a flexible schedule that lets me provide dependable pet care during the week. I occasionally help my mom for a few hours, but have plenty of time for walks and visits. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. It also gives me a nice way to earn extra income while doing something I love I treat every client’s home with respect and follow all instructions carefully, keep pets safe at all times and communicate promptly if any concerns arise.

About: Compassionate and dependable pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have been caring for pets since childhood, providing trusted care for family members, friends, and elderly pet owners. Experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, providing exercise, companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Skilled in reinforcing basic obedience and puppy training, including potty training, sit, stay, and lay down commands, using patience and positive reinforcement. Dedicated to treating every pet like family by providing personalized attention, affection, and reliable care. Committed to creating a stress-free, loving environment where pets can thrive and owners can have complete peace of mind. With the flexibility of working from home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule enables me to take regular breaks to care for pets in my own home or travel to clients’ homes while maintaining their established routines. I am committed to following each pet’s individualized care plan, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and exercise requirements. I understand the importance of consistency and strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and owners have complete peace of mind. As a lifelong animal lover, I provide a safe, caring, and enriching environment for every pet entrusted to my care. My home is situated on spacious land with a large, securely fenced yard where dogs have plenty of room to run, play, and exercise. I have three friendly outdoor dogs who are well-socialized and enjoy the company of other dogs. Inside my home, I have two calm, senior dogs who are gentle, well-mannered, and welcoming to visiting pets. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I understand that every animal thrives on consistency and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication (if needed), exercise, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest periods. I also recognize that every pet has a unique personality—some enjoy constant interaction while others prefer quiet companionship—and I respect their individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are being treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own pets

About: I am known as a dog whisper, I have been able to calm angry simply through a gentle hand. My chickens follow me around like the Pied Piper. I am retired, so their routine is my routine. I generally rise between 6am - 7am and begin dog walking. After they have been fed, I take care of the other pets. At this time I do not plan to offer boarding on my eight acre hobby farm. If I do, then dogs, horses, cattle, sheep, and goats will be accomodated.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, as well as provide plenty of love and attention. At home, I’ve cared for my own pets daily ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well groomed. I also volunteer with the SMU feral cat community, helping feed, monitor, and care for stray cats on campus. My experience spans from puppies and kittens to senior pets, and I’m comfortable with all temperaments and sizes. Schedule: I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for cats throughout the day. I regularly help care for SMU’s feral cat community, so I’m used to feeding, socializing, and checking on cats at different times. I’m available for visits and drop ins most weekdays after 2 PM and weekends all day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet and always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure spaces are secure, remove hazards, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. I currently have a puppy (a bichonpoo) and understand the importance of both love and structure. My motto is “life is too short let them sleep on the bed,” but I also believe discipline is key in shaping well behaved dogs. I’m happy to bring my puppy along for companionship if approved, but I always ask first since I respect that every pet and owner has different boundaries.

About: I love all animals in general, but dogs are my top 2. I'll treat them like family and love them like my own pets. I'll take your dog on long walks, teach them new tricks, and a lot of love and kisses. It will never be a time or day when we're not engaging with each other and having fun. I am super excited for this new journey to begin with your fur baby and I can confidently say you will never have to worry about your dog in my care. I enjoy all the different personalities of pets and it’s rewarding when an animal loves seeing you when you walk in the door. I’ll spoil and love on your fur babies as much as I can while I’m visiting them. I plan my days around making sure pets get the exercise, play, and attention they need. Walks, feeding, and check-ins are built into my schedule, and I am flexible enough to adjust when a dog and/or cat needs extra time or energy. Pet care isn't just something I add on, it's something I look forward to as apart of my weekly routine. I will care for your pet as you would. We'll stick to routines, diets, and play dates as well. I am very reliable and trustworthy. Will always send updates including Facetimes, pictures, and whatever else is needed to make things easier.

About: I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love, I can’t imagine life without dogs. Every dog deserves to feel valued, and if I can give your pup a little extra love than they already receive from you, I’d be honored! Pet care is part of my daily routine with my pups already—feeding, walking, playing, and cuddling. It brings structure, joy, and a sense of responsibility to my week. I take caring for my own pets and others very seriously—I make sure they receive enough quality time, food, walking, playing, and attention. I want them to feel safe, happy, and loved whether in my home or a client’s.

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds. I've always been the first person all my friends would call to take care of their pets. I've watched chickens, ducks, hourses, cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, snakes ect. I never thought to make it a business I always just did it out of my love for animlas and knowing they would be safe with me. Now that I have more knowledge and experience it just makes me so happy I can help each and everyone of you while you are away doing something I absolutely love. ❤️ Im so incredibly thankful to say this is my full income so I'm home all day to play with your pets and keep them company at all hours if need to be! I take them on walks 3 times a day plus backyard time. Fed normally twice unless told otherwise, and endless play time with their breeds or endless snuggles. Cats are 24/7 off the walls so I tend to have to keep them occupied as well sometimes even put a leash on them for an adventure 🤭

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. At 11, my first business was babysitting, but I quickly found myself caring for family pets, too. My love for animals ran so deep that every weekend, my parents took me to local pet stores, where I volunteered just to learn more about them. Over the years, I’ve personally raised and cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, iguanas, bearded dragons, turtles, and other aquatics—each one teaching me something new about their unique needs and personalities. I’ve been called the “Animal Whisperer” because of the way animals connect with me. Beyond providing love and companionship, I have hands-on experience with medical care. I administered insulin injections twice a day for over a decade for my cat, along with heart medication and tube feedings when needed. When my iguana developed kidney failure, I hand-fed her by syringe, juicing fresh vegetables to make sure she got the nutrients she needed. If you hire me, remind me to tell you the incredible story about the possum I rescued. I truly have a heart for animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m experienced, compassionate, and reliable, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your beloved pets. I look forward to meeting you and giving them the love, attention, and expert care they deserve! As I’m working from home, I have the flexibility to be available at any time to care for your pets. While my schedule may vary slightly due to occasional personal appointments, I’m committed to accommodating your needs as they arise. I prioritize creating a calm and secure environment for every pet I care for. I ensure the pets’ routines are maintained, from feeding and playtime to cleaning and providing fresh food and water. I am also attentive to any special instructions you may have to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe. I understand the importance of your home and will respect it by maintaining cleanliness and keeping everything in order. While I will be caring for your pets in your home, I also make sure to stay in close communication with you, providing updates, pictures, and videos to give you peace of mind.
